Basics of how to read a VFR sectional.

Just add two zeros to everything in aviation. That certainly applies to the costs associated with all things aviation

Thanks Chris. After a 30 year pause I'm planning to get back into the cockpit. So much has changed since I last flew. Thanks for the refresher.

Most in-depth tutorial so far, thanks for uploading.

Thanks you for the break down! Just getting started into flying and was very lost on the map reading. Understand a lot better now.

Fantastic video. Your explanation of the sectional is on point.

I watch a lot of these how to read maps. This was the simplest one ever. Thanks for making the video I understood a lot more the way you explain it. Repetition is the best teacher. I wish you would have just kept going over and over and over stuff but thank you so much!

That is such a great explanation Captain, thank you so much 👏

Thank you, this has been very helpful. More like this please.

Thank you and Happy Flying!

Thanks for going over that VFR chart so meticulously keep up the good work!

YES...VERY BASIC IS GOOD AND GREATLY NEEDED...AND YOUR SPEED IS JUST RIGHT TOO! YOU ARE A GOOD TEACHER...NOW GET EVEN BETTER! MOST CIF'S AND GROUND SCHOOLS JUST SHOW A CHART AND TALK WITH NO PEN OR POINTER TO SHOW WHERE THEY ARE OR WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND THEY LEAVE OUT THE DETAILS B/C THEY KNOW IF THEY REALLY TEACH THESE SUBJECTS SO THAT THOSE IN GROUND SCHOOL REALLY LEARN IT THAT THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO REAP HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FROM THE PP STUDENTS IN THEIR GROUND SCHOOLS THAT THEY ONLY GAVE AN OVER VIEW AND REALLY TAUGHT THEM NOTHING OF THE HOW TO'S AND THEY WILL NEED THESE SKILLS IF THEY WANT TO PASS THEIR CHECK RIDE ...SO, YOU DID A GREAT JOB...WE JUST NEED TO KNOW HOW TO USE THE PLOTTER NOW... SO MANY NEED THE VERY BASIC TEACHINGS OF AVIATION NAVIGATION AND MATH CALCULATIONS USING THE STEP BY STEP METHOD TO GET THE CORRECT ANSWER AND TO LEARN THE SKILLS OF HOW TO DO IT! PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS ON USING THE PLOTTER AND THE CHARTS AND IF YOU CAN USE THE CX-3 PLEASE SHOW US HOW DO ALL THE FLIGHT PLANNING WITH IT AND THE MATH IN A VERY BASIC WAY...ALSO WEIGHTS AND BALANCE, CG, VOR, ALTIMETER, AND IF YOU CAN HELP WITH AIR SPACE THAT WOULD BE GREAT TOO...THANK YOU SO MUCH Capt. Chris Johnston FOR YOUR HELP! YOU ARE AMAZING!

Hey, dropping a comment to help the visibility of this great video! If you're flying into Sacramento, this secrional tour shows how busy the region can get. Perfect video! #CapitalAirShow #SMF #SAC

Thank you, Great refresher.

This was great, Thank you. Please make some more in depth videos.

Good video for my BFR. Clear and concise. Thanks.

Chris..thanks for this video. I understand you say basic, but to us beginners, you broke this down and took your time explaining things. This was very helpful!! I’m new to your channel and hoping you have more videos like this. Thanks!!

Great presentation. Thanks

Thanks... Very helpful. I fly, low&slow, (a powered parachute), and we have NO radios or instruments, but I wanted to understand these charts... They I can buy and it sure is confusing to say the least... Now I'm down FLA. and we have a bunch of small airports, a bunch! Our sea level is pretty much nothing.. The I-70 overpass is about our highest spot!! But all these circles is what confuses me to start with... At 30mph, I'd like not to get hit!!! Hope you guys see us.. We normally don't go over 4k ft, seldom that high. But,,, ground to 2k, yeah, we're all over that airspace. Thanks for the chart info..

Thanks... for a person getting started in flying PPG, and of course there is NO radio's on these, this lesson is extremely important. It's the,,, where I can fly and these charts that scare the hell out of me. We, well I, expect to be flying upto 1k maybe a tad more, but everything from ground upto that. Oh, at 30mph... not getting run over by one of meatgrinder props, is pretty important... It's nuts up there now, and now with all these drones, and more coming commercially, we have to really define or try to figure all this out... Our engine's are right by our heads, so don't even think we can hear you coming!!!. No mirrors either... but we don't fly in the dark... twilight and sunrise... 4 hours each side of that.. that's our peak hours. All the info you can put out there on this chart stuff, * IS VERY HELPFUL** THANKS

Nice video, It would have been great to go into Depth with that Class E airport within the Class C airspace that went down to the surface as this is where I'm still getting a bit confused. Great info regardless!
